I've been practicing with lighting and the flash lately. Surprisingly my kids have been very cooperative! :) I am beginning to feel more comfortable with the flash. It still takes a lot of trial and error but thankfully not quite as much as it used to!
Here are some collages of the pictures I took of the kids. I'm thinking of even having these printed to put on the wall in their room :)

Isn't she just super adorable?! I did her mom's maternity pictures on Jan 3, 2013 You can see them here Sadie on January 17, 2013 Rubie was welcomed into the world. Doing newborn pictures are some of my favorite sessions to do.

The sunset was so beautiful on Sunday that I had to run out and take some pictures of it. When I got home I played around with editing them a little bit. Some of them I warmed up so they had more orange and yellow tones and some I cooled off so they had more blue and pink tones.

I'm really pleased with the way they turned out. I'm really trying to make sure I pick up my camera more and practice.

I am so excited for 2013. I am going to focus more on my photography and on growing my photography business. I've spent the last couple weeks creating a brand for my business. I love the look of it and I can't wait to really get things moving.

Yesterday a good friend of mine let me practice maternity pictures on her. She was such a good sport! What a cute pregnant girl too!! Her little girl is coming any day now! I'm still working on posing ideas. I did a ton of searching on Pinterest for cute ideas. I'm love the way these turned out and I can't wait to do more maternity shoots this year!!

Doesn't she look great?! Thank you Sadie for letting me practice on you!!!

I've been learning about flash. I've been practicing my skills because I still don't feel like I have any idea what I'm doing lol.

Well I was walking by the sink the other day and noticed a pizza sauce jar filled with water and soap. It had the coolest looking bubbles in it and my first thought was "I definitely have to come back and photograph that later." Then I started to walk away. I stopped myself and decided to do it right then. (I find myself falling into the trap of "I need/want to do something but I'll do it later.") I'm trying to break free from that.

So I grabbed my camera, flash, radio slave and my colored gels. I sat down at the table with my six year old son as my assistant. He is a great light stand. We played with different colored gels and different angles from the flash. I love the way these turned out.
